Static electricity can be an alternating current.
Answer: n = c / v" "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum, "v" is the speed of light in that substance and "n" is the index of refraction. According to the formula, the index of refraction is the relation between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.
Explanation: the relation is the vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.
' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.
That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.
(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)
= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)
= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute ! Hold up ! Hee haw ! Whoa !
Excuse me. That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's
(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)
= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)
= 14.4 kW·hour
Rounded to the nearest whole number:
14 kWh
Answer:
The Ionospheric Effect
Explanation:
One of the largest errors in GPS positioning is attributable to the atmosphere. The long, relatively unhindered travel of the GPS signal through the virtual vacuum of space changes as it passes through the earth’s atmosphere. Through both refraction and diffraction, the atmosphere alters the apparent speed and, to a lesser extent, the direction of the signal. This causes an apparent delay in the signal's transit from the satellite to the receiver.
